Symptom sunday

[worriedbabe]

Today's the day we can pass comment on our symptoms and how it's making us feel generally. To start us off, today i am feeling very, very tired, slightly nauseous, and i have achy hips. Breasts are still a bit tender. Overall, today i just wanna get into bed and stay in it for a very long time...however, i'll have to wait till my lads go to bed:(

I got heartburn with my last baby, worse than I have ever gotten it.  It was terrible and Zantac is safe to take, but even that wasn't working.  I found out that Prevacid is safe to take when pregnant.  Of course, check with your own doctor before taking it, but it is safe for the average, normal healthy pregnant woman.  It was wonderful for me and I didn't have anymore heartburn after I started taking it.

gokuangel, Tylenol is considered safe during pregnancy if you are the average healthy pregnant woman also, so if your doctor tells you you can take it, then it is okay to take.  I have taken it at one time or another during all 7 of my pregnancies and all my kiddos are very healthy.  But if you still don't want to take it, I'd suggest maybe like a cold compress.  The headaches are terrible for me too and I have to admit, Tylenol isn't anything compared to Advil, but I tried it sometimes anyway, out of desperation.

I had my 7th baby 3 months ago but pregnancy is NEVER easy for me and I get just about every symptom you ladies have listed, so I feel for you.  I hope you all feel better really soon!

I have had some cramping and headaches...not to mention everytime i eat i get sick...and the cramping seems to get worse at night. :( hoping that all these symptoms have a happy ending this month fingers crossed

I have horrible headaches! And if I stand/walk for too long, an hour later my back will start killing me for the rest of the night and my sciatica will act up. Oh and hot flashes.. At least I have to suffer through them in the winter and not summer!

Is it normal for your pregnancy symptoms to ease up? I'm 5 1/2 weeks and my boobs were really sore and I had heartburn, now they aren't really that sore and no other signs. I'm a little worried... Any thoughts?

[breanna_d]

my little one has been kicking up a storm (21weeks), I had my ultrasound & the tech said "if it's this active after being born, good luck!". I dont enjoy the feeling tho, it rolls around & kicks very low (near my hip bones). :S

[Heatherm4]

I'm still dealing with food aversion, nausea only at night, backache, insomnia...this must be normal since many have mentioned it and a nice yeast infection.
Yay us! hehe

A lot of my symptoms are getting better, but I still tire out pretty easily. About to go to the gym, and I'm probably gonna need a nap afterwards...makes me feel lazy. :)

[gokuangel]

oh i hate the headaches they are my worst enemy right now and i despise Tylenol i have refused to take any i know i can take alot b4 feeling it and im not gonna poison my baby so i have just been suffering any tips?? my nausea had pretty much gone just here and there but like some of you ladies i have days where i just want to lay in bed and not move!  The thing im not liking most about PG is my lack of sex drive its just gone poof! When i had my cycles i knew when i was going to feel like it and when i wasnt now its just a wait and see game LOL!

Headaches, not getting good sleep, wake up sore, breasts are okay as long as nothing presses against them, I find it annoying this winter either I'm too hot or too cold. Getting these cramping feelings around my tummy especially when I'm trying to sleep. Glad I'm not as nauseous as I was. Lower back pains come and go.

[megan210792]

i feel the same. suffering with really bad headaches and full of a cold. back is killing, have slight cramps in my lower abdomin and really bad cramps in my thighs. having trouble sleeping. but only 10 days til im due

[worriedbabe]

Both sides, and my shoulders. Think i know where you're goin with that, and am currently trying to get a blood hcg test done.

[whatstheodds]

I have heartburn all day everyday. It is awful and I only get it when I'm pregnant so at least I know its just a few more months of it.

[amy8702]

I am dealing with the insomnia. Finally fell asleep at 4am and the little guy had me up at 8am. Also, very tender breasts. It helps if I wear a bra but I'm uncomfortable in other ways if I do.

[Jordankelly93]

When you say that you have achy hips do yiu experience the achy feeling in both hips or on just one side?

[farO_jan]

Same here, its 9 am and I'm still in bed with a headache. And too lazy to get up and eat.
